The Change
You note a change in poetry these days since “Journey” ends,
And comment that less relevant the words each message sends.
Think of it as ‘Competitor’ to others – reaching out
To touch their lives, affirm, en-tool, resolve some blocking doubt.Now that the photos have caught up from “journey's” backlog group
I find two streams are merging – photo art and wordy soup.
With Internet response is quick or slow – whichever’s best;
An e-mail linked to poem speaks to one in midst of rest.It's really quite amazing how the two arts blend as one
Like preaching was in former days – the public forum’s sum
Of life reflected as I walked in some community
With mix of Word and Life then said in ‘public privacy’.It was the same in ‘Journey’, but the underlying theme
Has shifted from the healthcare world – now ‘Apostolic’ being –
As I walk through emergence of that ship out in the fog
And tugs emerge and cables strain – whatever could be cause?So, here I am at ‘Volume 1’, third Omer on this walk,
As clued-out of this Venture's end as in my ‘Journey’ talk –
I'm glad life's moved on from those days a year ago right now –
Thus able to participate – ‘one Venture more’, somehow.Two days this snow's been coming down – it's started up again –
Big fluffy flakes make shadows where the window's steam remains;
Like shadows of the atoms in that microscope it's said –
My picture-poems trace the interactive life I've led.navigation
